The U.S. Department of the Treasury will provide an overview of CDFIs and CDFI fund award programs, and the Opportunity Finance Network will discuss the advantages of working with CDFIs to address small business funding. Participants will also hear from a panel of bankers and CDFIs from across the region, who will discuss collaboration efforts and share success stories.
